We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Hey Barb, sorry I didn't drop back in last night. Matt's a FB friend. I saw his article right after I posted my own and felt pretty good that we were mostly on the same page. Erika, I hear you on Seda. So far, that character is more crudely drawn than I like. Hopefully they'll get around to fixing him before he becomes another fucking Sonny.

Actually, I think he reminds me of the faking reporter in The Wire season five...we know he's up to No Good but we don't really understand why.And he's a weak link on a Dream Team, that's not as harsh as it sounds.

Anthony Bourdain talks Treme(and lots of other shit, too, as is his wont) [link] Dang, when will that dude stop being a shrinking violet(which he'd love cause I almost typed "Shrinking Violent"(Roller derby name, or women's punk band?) and express an opinion already? (/sarcasm font) FTR, I thought both the Haitian and Boston episodes were all that and a bag of(what would Bourdain like a bag of? Entrails?) but we may have the same mental disorder, so there's that.

If you have HBO Go you can watch episode 7 right after episode 6 airs:

The executive [HBO co-president Eric Kessler] on Tuesday also said that HBO Go will exclusively make available the following week’s episode of new HBO hit Game of Thrones right after the May 22 episode, which ends with a cliffhanger that Kessler said will entice fans to immediately see what happens next. The move is part of a plan to offer exclusive content windows on HBO Go to “encourage registration” of users for the service, he said.

I just signed up for it! It'll be interesting to see how it works that night.

ETA: This is pretty nifty. I think they have every episode of every show they've ever done available here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think they have every episode of every show they've ever done available here.

That's what the ads say. I'm excited about seeing that episode early!

I was expecting current series but not older shows like Oz. It's a happy surprise.

Apparently, since I have Time Warner, I can't get HBO to Go. Unless they're listed under a different company name.

I thought I couldn't (because I didn't see Comcast) but then I found Xfinity and that's what Comcast is listed under - so I hope TimeWarner has some weirdo other name.
